I have no experience, what do I do?Just show up! Upon arriving, you will be given a uniform (called a “gi”) and will be given a focused introductory lesson by one of our instructors before you join in the group class. Every beginner class is taught with no previous experience necessary, so you will not feel left behind. Our program is structured by class number (23 group classes), so you will always know exactly what techniques you will be learning on any given day. You could even check out the techniques of the day on GracieUniversity.com before class to get a head start!

Do I need to be fit for this?There are zero fitness requirements to be able to start our beginner Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes! One of the benefits of BJJ is that it relies on technique and timing rather than strength, speed, or athleticism.

Are parents allowed to watch?We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids martial arts lessons. We love parents getting involved! Even better… you can join in our martial arts classes for adults, and have yet another thing in common with your little one. We love seeing the bond of families who train together!

What do I need to bring to my first Martial Arts Lesson?Upon arriving for your first jiu-jitsu class, we will provide a uniform, called a gi, for you to wear. We recommend comfortable undergarments or leggings, and a t-shirt or rashguard that you can wear under your gi. We will also have training attire available for purchase after your class. Be sure to bring a water bottle to your martial arts classes, as you will be working up a sweat!

Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for women?Absolutely! Specifically because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) has proven reliable in defending against larger opponents for nearly a century, it is the perfect martial art for women. Many women train in our co-ed Gracie Combatives classes. We love seeing the physical confidence develop in our female students as they gain self-defense skills on the mat!
